Kelan Ocean
The Frozen Sea
The Kelan Ocean is the name given only to the water that still moves. Most of what the name covers has not been liquid in living memory. Where Kela's coast gives way to open water the ocean freezes solid and stays that way, and the Kelan Glacial Plain that makes up the greater part of the continent is not built on the ocean. It is the ocean, frozen in place.
The scale is difficult to hold in the mind. A traveler stranded at the center of the plain is not stranded near anything, with flat unbroken ice running tens of thousands of kilometers in every direction. The water that still runs survives at the edges, along Kela's northwestern border with Inland Thazvaar, where the frozen and the unfrozen halves of the same ocean meet, and the sea reaches from there down along the northeastern Thazvaar shore.
the Northern Sea Phantom of the open coastal water, and the Edgerammer along the polar shelves where the ice gives way.
